The book presents 31 colour plates produced through a method that combines deliberate arrangement with documentary chance: food remnants are placed in a garden, a motion-triggered camera is left to record whatever arrives, and the resulting images are shaped as much by the subjects' behaviour as by the photographer's initial setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe protagonists are small animals — squirrels, sparrows, field mice, slugs, ants — that move through a scene constructed for them without their knowledge. The tension between the controlled still life arrangement and the unpredictable presence of these garden visitors gives the work its particular character. Colour is used with precision; the palette is vivid but not decorative. Silence is structural. The images read as contemporary still life photography that has absorbed something of the Dutch tradition while remaining firmly grounded in a documentary logic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/lia-darjes\" title=\"Browse all titles by Lia Darjes at Lokator100\"\u003eLia Darjes\u003c\/a\u003e's practice, \u003cem\u003ePlates I-XXXI\u003c\/em\u003e extends a preoccupation with still life that was already present in \u003cem\u003eTempora Morte\u003c\/em\u003e, her earlier study of market stalls in Kaliningrad.
